For some strange reason my net connection will suddenly only allow me to access esato but no other sites that i can find? Limewire runs fine but nothing else i just get server not found errors? Anyone got any ideas? I've rebooted my pc and rooter several times and switched them off at the plug for a few hours and tried again but nothing?
I've checked all my firewall settings and i even resorted to doing a system restore to a few days ago when all was ok but it hasn't worked?

Is this windows XP or Vista?
If it's XP, try this (if you can download it on another PC or something!):
http://www.snapfiles.com/get/winsockxpfix.html
Although it could be a problem with your ISP's DNS servers too, my connection does this too occasionally.

Hmmm... Thinks have changed today. It seems i can connect for about 20minutes no problem but then suddenly everything goes tits up. I reboot and all is ok again for 20minutes or so?
Any ideas?
I've already tried a system restore to a week ago but it made no difference? My rooter is constantly cnnected all through this. All the right lights are on.

I'm not gonna lie to you, buddy, I don't know!
It now sounds like a reinstall of windows to me I'm afraid! The curer of nearly all evils...

paul not everyone can get linux to install not everyone can get drivers to work it is not a option for everyone, some people cant cope with out certain ms products,
how about when you re-install burgaz you make say a couple of gig partition through the windoze cd and install the os separate then you have a diff partition for your data and prog's if it happens again
